the problem with the Chimna equipment is the engineers over there dont actually USE the equipment, they design it and don't have the experience of using it and seeing what breaks and what doesnt..Im sure just like the American automotive industry, all the old engineers and designers with the experience are all retired and the new young whippersnappers are trying to build the same..but can't.
Sonny just replace the chimna teeth with an American or import mini-ex tooth holder and some tiger teeth..hell even eBay has them, not much money..."Fix it once,fix it right,and it'l last you a long time" -old Cat mechanic once told me that..RIP Bob from Canada

This left outer tooth is the problem child for some reason. I figure its manufacturing defect. I looked at other teeth and most are weld ons or too bigs for this bucket. Later I might have to put something else on it. Didnt want to in case I wanted to use it without teeth, BUT now I have smooth bottom buckets in the set , I guess welding on this one wont matter now, PLUS I have the bucket off the other L-12, HMMMM! Might have to do more lookin!
